Bob Dylan brings his Americanarama tour to Hoboken and Jones Beach; see ticket details below.

It's another big boatload of great concerts going on sale Friday (and some on Saturday).

And, of course, there are plenty of gigs at indoor venues, for us vampires who enjoy see shows in dark, smelly clubs, even when the weather is bright and sunny outside. Enjoy, all...

Free Album Streaming: New CDs from Wilco, the Jayhawks, "Pearl Jam 20," & More

"Mockingbird Time," the new album by The Jayhawks, is available for free streaming this week.

More musical heavy hitters are releasing Fall albums this week and next, and there are some much-anticipated new albums up for free streaming this week. If you didn't catch Wilco's 24-hour-only streaming of its new album a couple of weeks back, you'll be glad to know that KCRW is now offering it online for a much longer time: "The Whole Love" will be streaming free through Oct. 2nd.

Other notable releases: The Jayhawks are back with "Mockingbird Time," Tony Bennett teams up with the late Amy Winehouse and others for "Duets II," and the trio Ivy (featuring singer Dominique Durand and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger) return with "All Hours" (this was previously streaming on Amazon.com). And if you missed last week's stream of "Night of Hunters," the new Tori Amos album, NPR is streaming it now.

There are a couple of interesting re-releases/collections as well: the 29-track soundtrack album for "Pearly Jam 20," Cameron Crowe's documentary about the band (with rare and unreleased tracks), and "Winterland," the live album from Jimi Hendrix's 1968 performances at the famed San Francisco  venue. And although the third season of NBC's a cappella singing show "The Sing-Off" is just beginning tonight, there's already an album of "signature songs" from the first episode up for streaming.

Some of this week's free album streaming choices:

Stream Wilco's New Album "The Whole Love" Free Until Sunday Morning

Wilco is previewing its new album free on its website for 24 hours.

Just found out earlier today via the L.A. Times that Wilco will be streaming its new album, "The Whole Love," for 24 hours only at the band's website, wilcoworld.net. The Times reported the news in an article on Saturday afternoon and says the offer runs through Sunday morning, Sept. 4th.

I know this is short notice, but I hope at least some readers will see this post and will be able to preview the new Wilco album free on its website. The track listing for "The Whole Love," according to the website:

Art of Almost
I Might
Sunloathe
Dawned On Me
Black Moon
Born Alone
Open Mind
Capitol City
Standing O
Rising Red Lung
Whole Love
One Sunday Morning (Song For Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)

Wilco's "The Whole Love" will be released on Sept. 27th.

Free Stream of Wilco Concert

Even though Wilco has been around for about a decade, there are still plenty of music fans who've probably never heard of them. That probably changed tonight when they were the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Also helping to raise their profile is a concert Webcast by NPR recently.

If you missed the Webcast, don't worry: you can stream the entire Wilco show for free (including the opening set by John Doe, formerly of X).
